SBC Football Attendance

[R1Letterman]

Proof you didn't watch the game...if you had, you would have noticed UL students showed up....once again, "Our Town" let down "Our Team"...

I didn't say they didn't show up. I simply know someone posted previously that "might be" an excuse. And I am typing that it is not a valid excuse

Pretty sad when ULM has higher attendance. Fans left at half time.

….lMaybe last year was OVER REPORTING….but we had to have more than 18k last night!

[R1Letterman]

The students did show up. That was very encouraging, and especially with the Labor Day weekend where many of our on-campus students typically head home as a final getaway until Fall break or Thanksgiving break.

I hope that continues, and they only get larger and rowdier.

Frick and frack, arguing about nothing

They showed up and by time of third quarter started there were maybe 200 students

Every program in the country has that problem. Even Bama. You aren’t gonna stop college kids from going to a bar instead of watching an uncompetitive football game. Just happy they showed up at all.

. . . they report tickets sold plus tickets requested by students . . . scanning is only to get you in . . . attendance reports are correct . . .

Oh well. Guess we have proof of a previous poster not watching the 2nd half, #Ooops

Woohoo. So is there a breakout of student tickets. Seems since it isn't just "the student side" anymore would be hard to know for sure just by looking. And also how many extra can students "request" or buy for non students?

This is the absolute truth! The students did their part.

I have a hard time believing the 18K figure.

[Big Buds]

Even if it was 20K, still weak.

But it’s an improvement over the past couple years.

. . . positives . . . the right QB played . . . we won by a good margin . . . we showed very little to ODU . . . our defense played well . . . no injuries . . . students showed up . . . negatives . . . oh just read the thread . . .

Yes and considering the fact that sorority’s are going through rush and most of them weren’t there. There are 400 girls going through rush, my freshman daughter being one of them and they weren’t allowed to go to the TG, game or bars last night. You could have easily added a few more hundred if sororities were there in full force. For the first time in my daughters life she called and ask my ESPN+ log in. So at least her, her roommate and friends were interested.
